I have to admit, if I saw this next generation robotic snake approaching me on the battlefield, I would be tempted to run away with my tail between my legs. A stealth, slithering piece of technology, its capabilities are even more frightening than its looks.
Developed by BioRobotics and BioMechanics Lab for eventual use in the Israel Defense Forces, the robotic snake has self-contained sections to ensure that it remains working even if it's blown apart. How creepy is that?
